What is Wrapped stETH (WSTETH)?
Wrapped stETH, often abbreviated as WSTETH, serves as a tokenized representation of staked Ethereum on the Lido protocol.

It signifies proportional ownership of staked ETH, allowing holders to cash out their initial stETH investments plus any accrued earnings when they decide to exit.
